Keeping valuable vehicles safe at home can be challenging––from shielding against weather damage and theft to freeing up space in your driveway. Vehicle storage spaces offer a superior solution. Learn how U Can Store’s affordable and secure car storage can provide peace of mind while preserving your car’s value.
Owning a car––especially a classic, valuable, or sentimental vehicle––is a source of pride and joy for any owner. As much as we want to keep our valuables close, sometimes parking and storing your vehicle at home can lead to unexpected challenges. From security risks and exposure to unpredictable weather, to space limitations in garage storage and driveways, many homeowners struggle to provide the protection and care these cars truly deserve.
That’s why it’s better to consider a vehicle car storage space to give you––and your insurance company––peace of mind that your asset is secure and properly protected from the elements. Let’s explore why private vehicle storage spaces stand out as the superior solution for protecting and maintaining your valuable vehicle.
Mother Nature can be unforgiving––especially in Johannesburg! Cars stored at home in open driveways or standard garages are vulnerable to summer sun and rain, winter hail, and the constantly fluctuating temperatures typical of Gauteng. Over time, this chaotic weather system can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s paint, interior, and mechanical components.
Vehicle storage spaces offer various levels of protected vehicle storage, such as climate-controlled units designed to keep your car in a stable and consistent environment. This level of protection is helpful for rare classic cars or luxury models with unique finishes or sensitive materials, but can be pricey! For less sensitive vehicles, covered(underground parking bays), shaded parking bays and general parking bays, that are offered at U Can Store, are good choices. These protect against issues like rust and corrosion from rain, fading and damage to paint from UV rays, and cracked upholstery from temperature fluctuations. You’re protected, have easy access to your vehicle, and get what you need at a lower price point!
Theft and vandalism are constant worries for car owners in South Africa, especially when your car is of high monetary or sentimental value. Even the most secure home garages may lack the advanced measures needed to deter determined intruders. If you’re security-conscious, as most of us are, you’ll see huge benefits in protecting your assets with car storage that utilises the latest, state-of-the-art security technologies.
A Vehicle storage space provides multiple layers of security to keep your cars safe. For example, U Can Store employs features like 24/7 video surveillance, gated access to authorised individuals only, security personnel, and advanced alarm systems. These garage storage spaces are designed to protect your assets, hugely reducing the risk of theft or damage.
Whether you own a vintage collectable, a luxury car, or a sentimental heirloom, preserving its condition is critical to maintaining its value. Every scratch, tear, or sign of wear can drastically reduce its financial value––and ruin its aesthetic!
Luxury or classic car storage in a regulated vehicle storage facility protects it from accidental bumps, environmental debris, and improper handling. You don’t need to worry about your son accidentally hitting it with his cricket ball, or a tree falling on it from your neighbour's garden! Facilities like U Can Store are ideal for ensuring your car stays in pristine condition, making it more appealing to future buyers or maintaining its sentimental charm for generations.
If your garage is overflowing with storage boxes and your partner’s car, or your driveway is small and difficult to manoeuvre in at the best of times, finding space for an extra vehicle can be a hassle––especially one that’s protected from the potentially destructive tasks of daily life. Large vehicles like camper vans or cars used seasonally may also add to this congestion and are even harder to find space for!
You can free up precious space at home by choosing a vehicle storage solution, and keep your car more safe in the long-run! Whether it’s decluttering your garage, making room for an additional car, or just wanting to keep your valuable vehicle out of harm’s way, car, or even camper trailer storage in a protected self-storage space can restore order to your household.
For business owners managing fleets who need secure, off-site parking solutions, our facilities provide a reliable and efficient option. With robust security, convenient access, and flexible terms, we cater to all business fleets, ensuring peace of mind and operational efficiency.
Car storage facilities like U Can Store are useful beyond simply keeping your vehicle safe. Their convenient location and easily manoeuvrable storage spaces make car maintenance easy and efficient. No need to wheel your car out the back of the driveway for services like battery maintenance, tyre checks, and detailing. Trusted car maintenance providers can access and address your vehicle on-site, ensuring that your car remains in peak condition without hassle.
Moreover, retrieving your vehicle is a breeze with convenient access hours and organised facilities. Whether you need your car for a special occasion or seasonal use, it will be ready and waiting for you in showroom condition!
